A method is proposed for the quantitative estimation of a substance and its labelled analogue using the selected ion monitoring technique of gas chromatography mass spectrometry, in which estimation is achieved without a third labelled analogue as internal standard. In a first measurement the ratio of natural to labelled substance is estabolished. Then a known amount of either labelled or natural compound is added, the isotope ratio is determined a second time and from these two measurements the mass amounts can be calculated. When applied to the heptafluorobutyrates of androstenedione and progesterone about 10 pg of 14 C labeled compounds can be determined in the presence of 1 ng of the natural substances.
